Chapter 42 Miraculous
Libya during the Colonel's era was a Frankenstein's monster. On the surface, it was a modern country with laws based on a modern legal system, but at its core, it was a traditional tribal country with traditional customs and early marriage being common.
Qin Rui now finally understands the meaning of "Broken Fourth Uncle".
To Qin Rui's regret, the Transitional Committee and the Provisional Government not only failed to seize the great opportunity of overthrowing the Colonel, but also failed to take the initiative to break down old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits.
Instead, they have reversed the course of history, attempting to completely erase the colonel's contributions to Libya's modernization at the national level.
Qin Rui not only insisted on monogamy, but also resolutely abolished the dark custom of early marriage. He would only allow women to marry when they were psychologically and physically ready to become mothers.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl's values are not yet fully formed. Although she is physically mature, she is still a long way from being psychologically mature.
The residential complex has two concentric circles of buildings. Qin Rui did not live in the inner circle, but chose the fourth floor of the northwest corner of the outer circle, with the port and Martyrs' Square on either side.
This large apartment has four bedrooms and two living rooms, with each room being quite spacious. Both bedrooms have separate walk-in closets and bathrooms, and the open-plan kitchen and dining area are integrated. Qin Rui and Mi Ya each have their own study.
After fussing for a while, seeing that Qin Rui wouldn't give in, Mia got up angrily and started packing her things.
Omar wagged his tail and followed Mia, but accidentally blocked her way and was kicked away by Mia.
Omar let out a pitiful cry and scurried to Qin Rui's side, looking at him with its big, wet eyes, hoping that Qin Rui would stand up for it.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you."
Qin Rui was powerless to help.
Although Mia was angry, she still tidied up Qin Rui's clothes first.
Qin Rui had quite a few clothes, but they were all very simple in style, consisting of only shirts and work pants, and in only two colors: sand or desert camouflage.
"Brother Tiger, let's go to the mall later, I want to buy you some clothes."
Mia gradually got into the swing of things. She didn't need to dress up herself, but Qin Rui needed to have a few decent outfits.
You can't exactly wear a shirt and work pants to work at the Governor's Palace.
money!
Qin Rui finally thought of this problem.
After the outbreak of the civil war, Libya's monetary system completely collapsed, and the current common currencies are the euro and the US dollar.
Qin Rui went to the study to call Ding Jian and asked him to print a batch of currency as quickly as possible.
"dinar?"
Ding Jian was prepared.
"No, redesign a new currency."
Qin Rui turned on his computer and got right to work.
大佐时代的第纳尔，面值一共五种，分别是1、5、10、20、50.
The five types of banknotes do not have a uniform design.
Qin Rui's approach was simple and direct: he used a map of Libya on the front, the Great Leptis ruins on the back, and the Arabic text "Republic of Libya" on the back. That solved the problem.
Ding Jian was to handle the anti-counterfeiting technology; he was to use whatever was necessary, such as shadows, gold threads, and raised designs.
Qin Rui didn't check the real-time exchange rate of the dinar to the US dollar; he directly set the exchange rate of the new dinar to the US dollar at 5 to 1.
The design for the coin dirham is the same as the paper money: a map on the front and ruins on the back.
"How many to print?"
Ding Jian was unsure.
Qin Rui checked the account balance first, and then replied to Ding Jian: "100 billion."
Selling oil is incredibly profitable.
Numidian Brigade is upgrading oilfield equipment.
Tripoli is under reconstruction.
They are currently purchasing weapons and equipment on a large scale.
All the supplies needed by the Numidian expedition, except for oil, natural gas, and electricity, were purchased from abroad.
With so many projects running simultaneously, the account still accumulated nearly 20 billion.
The payment for the oil in January hasn't been settled yet.
Of course, this is also because Qin Rui's side is making payments in stages.
Otherwise, a single subway line would cost more than 20 billion.
Mia, like Qin Rui, was a woman of action. After tidying up Qin Rui's clothes, she ignored her own wardrobe and dragged Qin Rui to go shopping.
When they took the elevator down to the first floor, Miller and Baiban, who were wearing the same shirt and work pants as Qin Rui, were already waiting at the elevator entrance when the elevator doors opened.
In the garden directly opposite the entrance to the building, Fa Cai was sitting on a swing, playing Tetris on his phone.
Hong Zhong and a female soldier named Michelle came towards us carrying large and small bags, looking like they had just returned from the supermarket.
Although the soldiers Qin Rui redeemed from the system cannot have children, they still have physiological needs.
The residential area where Qin Rui lives is entirely populated by soldiers and technicians who were redeemed through the system; none of them are for sale to outsiders.
Across from the financial district on the other side of Martyrs' Square, two identical residential complexes are under construction; these are the ones intended for the residents of Tripoli.
New citizens.
Former Tripoli residents, even those who return to Tripoli, are unable to prove their identity.
During the civil war, fierce fighting broke out between government forces and rebels around the Tripoli municipal government. The municipal government building was destroyed, and all information about the city was lost or damaged. Even if former citizens could provide information, there was no original data to compare.
This once again proves how important it is to promote paperless office practices.
If it's electronic data, you only need a portable hard drive or even a USB flash drive to save it.
During the time of Colonel Lieutenant General ...
This is normal, as Libya launched Africa's first communications satellite as early as 2007, but its basic communications infrastructure was very underdeveloped.
In newly built neighborhoods in Tripoli, broadband access is 100% available.
The company responsible for this business is the newly established Tripoli Communications Company, which uses technology and equipment from Chrysanthemum.
As you walk along the path through the central garden into the commercial area, you'll find an astonishing number of cameras along the way, with wide-angle infrared cameras at every intersection. These devices and technologies all come from Hikvision.
The overall design of the commercial area came from Youchang International, and Qin Rui really liked their proposed pattern of architecture + space + visual design.
Due to the tight construction schedule, the construction of the commercial area and the landscaping of the central garden are not yet fully completed. There are not many buildings that have been put into use. Only a few places such as supermarkets, gyms, libraries, and clinics have just started operating.
The supermarket occupies the largest area, with a total of four floors. The first and second floors are used for supermarkets, the third floor is for restaurants, and the top floor is for a cinema.
Although the supermarket had a wide variety of goods, there were not many staff members, the service was not good, the music was too loud, the floor was not very clean, and the air was not fresh.
Qin Rui decided to go back to Ding Jian and invite Yu Pang to open a supermarket in Tripoli.
Yu Pang's supermarket not only provides attentive service, giving customers peace of mind, but it can even improve the service level of the entire city.
The key is that the employees of the fat supermarket receive high salaries and benefits, and they themselves also make a lot of money.
That's amazing.
